"I don't know." Ming Xi tossed one into his mouth. He just felt that it was delicious. Moreover, that tree was tall and big. It was planted in the Devil Palace's Priest Hall. He had picked it secretly while Zhuoming was away.
Emperor Mo saw that he was eating with relish. He took a deep breath and said, "This is called the Demon Fruit. It grows once every five hundred years. Not only can it increase the Demon power in your body, it can also … Forget it, it's good enough that you can leave the Flame Region alive."
"I left some for my mother," Ming Xi said. "There's nothing for you."
"…" Who cares! Emperor Mo's palms itched. Sure enough, having a son would infuriate the old man to death. "Hurry up and wash up. I still have something to tell you."
Ming Xi took off all his clothes and swiftly washed away the impurities on his body. At the same time, he glanced sideways at Emperor Mo. "Did you do anything to my mother?"
"Even if he did, do you think you can control it?" Emperor Mo said coldly.
"Hehe." Ming Xi laughed coldly, "To me and my mother, you are just a stranger who looks like my father. Do you think I can do anything about it?"
Emperor Mo looked at him indifferently. "How do you know I'm a stranger?"
Ming Xi turned his head and looked at Emperor Mo seriously. "Have you recalled your memories of the human world? No, that's impossible. It's you who didn't want the human world's memories. How could you remember it? "
"Your mother personally went to the Flame Region to find you a few days ago," Emperor Mo said indifferently. "She was almost injured by Fiend King."
"What did he do to my mother?" Ming Xi immediately asked.
"Kids shouldn't ask too many questions." Emperor Mo coughed lightly, "Son, your mother has a Heavenly Spirit Root and a Lucid Phoenix Jade Marrow Body. If she stays in the Xuantian Continent, no matter if it's those martial practitioners or the Flame Demons, they will all harm her. I can protect her, but I can't take the risk, and I don't want to force her to make a choice. Your sister is still in the human continent. If your mother knew … she would be in great pain."
Ming Xi remained silent. Yes, if Empress Mother knew that Emperor Mo was actually Imperial Father, she would definitely be in pain, because she loved Imperial Father and could not bear to part with him. But what about Ming Yu?
This was a difficult choice. It was better not to know. There was no other choice.
"What is the Link Phoenix Jade Marrow Body?" Ming Xi asked in a low voice.
Emperor Mo frowned. Wasn't it a little inappropriate to explain this to a child? "You don't need to know."
"Even if you don't tell me, I'll ask someone else." Ming Xi said, his indifferent expression exactly the same as Emperor Mo's.
"The Phoenix Jade Marrow Body is a rare physique for dual cultivation. Not only is it helpful for your mother's cultivation, it's also helpful for others," Emperor Mo explained vaguely. "You're just a kid. What do you know?"
Ming Xi exclaimed, "Are you worried that my mother will be snatched away by another man? What if my mother falls in love with someone else?"
"Do you really think I don't dare beat you up?" Mo Di coldly said.
"Come on then." Ming Xi waved his hand. He had already cultivated the Undying and Indestructible Art to perfection, so he wasn't afraid of him.
Emperor Mo sneered, "Do you think that you can defeat me just because you've cultivated the Undying Indestructible Technique? Even the Flame Devil King has been killed by me once, and you still dare to talk back to your old man? "
"Don't call yourself Laozi. Who do you think you are …" Ming Xi glanced at him disdainfully, swallowing his last words. "Get to the point, what exactly do you want to say to me?"
"Do you want to stay in the Xuantian Continent?" Emperor Mo asked.
"No." Ming Xi answered crisply, not the slightest bit interested.
Emperor Mo pursed his lips. He knew this brat would answer like this, "The Xuantian Continent no longer has a gap to go to the human continent."
"And then?" Ming Xi asked.
"I'll take you to the Upper God Continent. There's a gap there that leads to the human continent," Emperor Mo said in a low voice. "With your cultivation, you can go to the Upper God Continent, but your mother can't. Once she reaches the Spirit Realm, I'll send you away."
"Alright." Ming Xi said expressionlessly, "If you don't plan on going to the human continent, then you'd better continue hiding what you've been hiding."
Emperor Mo slapped the back of his head, "Get up, let's go back. Don't let your mother wait too long."
Ming Xi turned around and blinked hard. So what if he didn't have his father, he had his mother and his sister. That was enough.
He jumped out of the lake and onto the shore. In the blink of an eye, he was already dressed.
"There's one more thing." Emperor Mo had already changed his clothes by the time he reached the shore. "If you dare encourage your mother to remarry, Ming Xi, you won't need to find a wife in this life."
"That'll depend on whether my mother is willing to be a widow for you." The sadness in Ming Xi's eyes disappeared without a trace.
"You …" Emperor Mo was speechless. Why hadn't Ming Yu followed him to the Xuantian Continent? His daughter was so sweet.
Ming Xi was in a hurry to see Ming Xi and didn't want to waste any more time with Emperor Mo. "Take me to my mother."
"Follow me." Emperor Mo brought Ming Xi to Ye Zhen with a gloomy face.
Ye Zhen had just come out of the kitchen and was waiting for Ming Xi with a table full of dishes. They were all Ming Xi's favorite dishes. Fortunately, they were in the city tower and many of the ingredients weren't hard to find.
"Smells good." Ming Xi hurried in. "Mother, I'm hungry."
How could he be hungry? He just missed his mother's cooking, especially when his stepmother would soon find out the truth. He felt that he should treat his mother better.
"Ming Xi, you've grown a lot taller." Ye Zhen touched Ming Xi's face, only to find that he had grown a lot taller than a year ago.
"Yes, because I ate and slept well in the Yan Region." Ming Xi smiled.
Not only did he grow taller, he seemed to have become more talkative! Ye Zhen looked at him with a smile. She remembered that when he was in the palace, this child spent his days either practicing martial arts or reading books. If she hadn't talked to him often, he would have become a taciturn gourd.
"Hurry up and eat. Mother made all this myself." Ye Zhen smiled.
Ming Xi turned to look at Emperor Mo. "City Lord Mo, thank you for sending me back. I won't see you out."
"…" Emperor Mo really wanted to slap this brat back into his mother's womb. "Can't I stay?"
"We mother and son have finally reunited. What are you doing here?" Ye Zhen asked, puzzled. They couldn't even speak in private. If there were outsiders around, it would be inconvenient to speak. Didn't he understand this?
Emperor Mo looked down at Ye Zhen. "Am I an outsider?"
"Are you one of us?" Ming Xi had already sat down and was eating a chicken leg.
Fire Phoenix, who was standing in the corner, sat down beside Ming Xi. She looked at Ming Xi and said, "I'm one of you."
"…" Ming Xi glared at Fire Phoenix and turned to look at Ye Zhen. "Mother, is he your son?"
"He is Fire Phoenix. He has been with me since you were born. You can call him brother." Ye Zhen said. Anyway, she raised Fire Phoenix as her son.
